Counterfeit Blog Hop!

Hey all!

Maybe you're just stopping by because, well, that's what you do -- but chances are, you're here because it's time for the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog hop! Hooray! Here's the sketch we are working with this month:

Pretty, no? For my layout, I kept pretty close to the original sketch, and I went all purple on it. Take a look, and click on any image you'd like to see in more detail:

Ok, so I know it's a pretty girly layout, but I couldn't resist using that picture of my cutie-pie hubby anyway :). I also got to use several kit items I've been hoarding, including a die-cut felt frame and some Tattered Angels crepe paper (which is all misted up). I also got to use some fun Prima goodies -- flowers and pebbles. Here's a closeup:

Flowers are, for whatever reason, really hard for me to use -- but I like these! Oh, and the title took two tries. Here it was at first:

Nice, but totally blends into the background. So I took my signo gel pen to it:

Much better, no? Totally legible.

If you'd like to see my original kit, click here. If you'd like to see the other two layouts I've already made using it, click here. I still have leftovers...but I'm definitely looking forward to the next counterfeit kit, which will be revealed on the 5th!

I'd love to hear what you think, and I can't wait for next month's hop! Speaking of which, get hoppin' -- go see (another) Angela at Mad for Paper!

It was nice seeing a purple page and getting a break from the red that has dominated the hop. You lace is he bomb and I'm glad you took close-ups of the doodling on your title 'cause that is a wonderful detail
